Seriously! STAY OFF THE F%&KING BOARDS!!!!!!!

I agree. Reading these are is one thing that should be avoided. Posting should NEVER happen. Please, guys, for your own good stay off the boards. If you play well, you are going to read about how great you are and it will go to your heads. If someone on here thinks you played bad, its going to rob you of your confidence and make you feel worse. Most of the posters on here are FANS first and have never played the game. They have the right to say whatever they want, no matter how true or false it is.

Only the players and coaches know what really goes on. We don't need to hear about it on this board. Plus, opposing teams can read this board at their own free will to see what is going on. PLEASE STOP

Jeg and Reed, I totally understand the rationale for players to stay away from these message boards. Reed made some good points as to the reasons why. Serious question, though: Don't the players understand that this is an open forum and that anyone can say anything on here (heck, we can't even be sure that the players in question are actually players or imposters). If the players understand this, what is the harm on having them post a few comments??

Now, don't get me wrong, the players should not be on here posting smack or particulars concerning the games, but I don't see the harm in a few comments.

Correct me if I am wrong.

If football players want to come on here during basketball season and vice versa that is fine but the simple fact is that when someone like Wingert gets on here and has someone questions his abilities (like me) it has a very negative impact on them. Lets look at this for example, the first post I made on this board that was responded to by Wingert he came out the next game (at this point biggest game of the year) and missed his first kick. Now, he did redeem himself which is awesome but the point of the matter is what was going through Wingert's head when he went on the field that day?

These are players that should be 110% focused on the task at hand, New Hampshire, not Panthernation.com. This board is for washed up old has been's like me and Panther fans, not players. Focus guys, forget about us here on the board. Why would a kicker come to PantherNation.com after a 1-3 performance, why would a defensive back come on the boards after a quarterback throws for 3 or 4 TD's and 380 yards? People have bad games, we all do but the Players don't need to come here to be reminded of it, what do they expect, to come here and get praised? It is simply not going to happen, there are hundereds of users on this board that are not going to stop posting so the few players that read it should take the stand.

Ok, playing devil's advocate here.

Using that rationale, should the players not attend class and talk to other students?

Should they not talk to their friends about the game and what went well and what didn't??

Should they not talk to their parents about the game??

What about post game interviews with Rima and Petey??

Again, let me clarify, I am not suggesting the players come on here and talk smack or game particulars. I just don't see what is wrong for them to come on here and take a look around as long as they understand that anyone on here can post anything that they want to. In other words...........take everything with a grain of salt.

Nothing wrong with taking a look around or discussing the game person to person, face to face, etc. The problem is that some are not taking it with a grain of salt like they should be.

Usually when you discuss the games with your family and friends, there is a certain trust there that not a whole lot will be repeated. Stuff that goes on between the lines among teamates, in the locker rooms, in the film room, during meetings etc is to be kept to the players themselves. The difference here is that commentary posted is made by fans who are observing the games.

There is a level of 'smack' talk that is not only common, but almost guaranteed in an place like this that players just don't need to be involved in, IMHO. They should do their talking between the lines, not here.
